On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by Kristi McLelland for a rich conversation about the Minor Prophets, with a special focus on the book of Hosea. Together, they trace the threads of Hosea's powerful love story—a living illustration of God's relentless pursuit of His people. While the Minor Prophets contain sobering warnings and calls to repentance, they ultimately point to a God who never gives up on His people and whose story culminates in redemption through Jesus. Pull up a chair and join us—we're so glad you're here.

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes(00:00) An overview of these chapters. The kingdom of Israel divides when Solomon's son Rehoboam refuses to reduce the burden on the northern tribes.(06:55) A brief history of the Lost Ten Tribes in the north and Judah in the south.(10:48) Jeroboam, worried that his people will turn their hearts towards the leaders in the south when they go to the temple in Jerusalem, decides to build rival sanctuaries in Dan and Bethel.(13:25) Do not take counsel from your fears or be fooled by an imitation.(19:18) A man of God warns Jeroboam against false worship, prophesying of a future day when Josiah will destroy it.(22:17) What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? Could Shishak of Egypt have taken this treasure from the Jerusalem temple?(29:13) Elijah, an embodiment of great power, is a type of many prophets. All prophets are types of Christ. (31:49) Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by a raven. He goes to Zarephath and asks a widow woman for her barrel flour and jar of oil, promising they will never become empty during the famine.(40:30) Elijah raises the widow's son from the dead. Jesus duplicates the miracles of Elijah.(43:28) Obadiah, part of Ahab's court, saves 100 prophets from Queen Jezebel and also helps Elijah.(47:29) Obadiah and Elijah's “50” can be seen as part of a bigger picture, as members of a choral arrangement that were connected to the temple and the sacred drama in many ancient cultures.(52:37) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven. They fail.(57:14) At times the Lord will manifest miracles to show his might and prove that he is God. The Book of Mormon is that proof for us today.(1:03:40) The famine ends and Queen Jezebel seeks the life of Elijah. In his loneliness, Elijah experiences deep sadness, believing that the prophets are dead. At times, we may feel as Elijah did. Being with the Saints and remembering the truth of the gospel message can bolster our resilience.(1:11:44) Elijah's experience with the still small voice of the Lord.(1:18:17) Ahab, king of Israel, is attacked by the Syrian army. A prophet tells Ahab that Israel will win. Ahab later desires the vineyard of Naboth, who refuses to sell his land. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, orchestrates a conspiracy to frame Naboth for blasphemy, and Ahab acquires the land through deceit. Elijah comes to inform Ahab that Ahab’s line will cease, that Jezebel will be eaten by dogs, and that Ahab’s blood will be licked up by dogs in the very spot where Naboth was killed. Time vindicates the prophets. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 378 | 1 Kings 12-22, Come Follow Me 2026 (June 29-July 5) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

In this series, we'll dive into the shortest books of the Bible (2 John, 3 John, Obadiah, Philemon, Jude) to uncover the big truths they contain. Sometimes, a few carefully chosen words can change hearts, redirect lives, and shift the course of entire communities. In Straight to the Point, we'll see how God used brief, powerful messages to confront pride, call people back to what truly matters, restore broken relationships, and keep His mission moving forward. This series reminds us that even the simplest message, when delivered by God, has the power to transform lives.
The sermon, drawn from Obadiah 5–9, presents a powerful theological portrait of God's personal and comprehensive judgment on Edom, not merely as retribution but as a divine call for Israel—and by extension, all believers—to abandon earthly dependencies and fully trust in God. Through vivid imagery of thieves, grape gatherers, betrayed allies, and the destruction of wisdom and might, the passage exposes the futility of relying on riches, human alliances, or worldly wisdom, emphasizing that God's judgment is precise, total, and purposeful. The preacher underscores that God's justice is not arbitrary but rooted in covenant faithfulness, assuring believers that His promises remain secure through Christ's atonement, even in exile and suffering. Ultimately, the message calls for a radical reorientation: from self-reliance to divine dependence, from temporal security to eternal hope, and from human wisdom to the imminent return of Christ. This transformation is not achieved by human effort but by grace, as believers are invited to live in light of the coming day of the Lord, marked by holiness, faithfulness, and worship.
Tonight on JT's Mix Tape we dive into the growing "Disclosure Day" narrative, UFO propaganda, ancient architecture, and the biblical concept of Satan's Little Season. We examine claims about alien disclosure, discuss whether UFO encounters are actually demonic, review recent end-times discussions, and explore fascinating connections between Edom, Herod, Obadiah, Malachi, and Revelation. We'll also take a look at incredible Old World architecture in Virginia and discuss why some historical narratives deserve a second look. #jtfollowsjc #LittleSeason #DisclosureDay #BibleProphecy #Aliens #UFOs #Revelation Chapters 00:00 Opening Prayer & Updates 04:30 JT's Mix Tape Patreon Update 06:00 Old World Architecture Discussion 09:50 Roanoke Cathedral Tour 12:30 Salem Courthouse & Ancient Architecture 16:00 Virginia Tech & Old World Buildings 24:00 Disclosure Day Discussion 29:00 Spielberg's Alien Movie Review 38:00 Why Disclosure Day Failed 41:00 Satan's Little Season Debate 44:00 Obadiah and Edom Explained 49:00 Malachi, Esau & the Priests 54:00 Herod the Great and the Edomites 58:00 Jerusalem & Prophecy Discussion 01:02:00 Matthew 24 Breakdown 01:11:00 Daniel 8 and the 2300 Days 01:21:00 Mark of the Beast Discussion 01:23:00 Polygamy & Seventh-Day Adventism 01:25:00 Q&ABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtape
God said then and we can believe that he is saying now; because he is God that cannot change; woe to the heathen or nonbelievers that won't or don't try to help the believer in a time of distress, but take advantage of the believer and mock them with boasting and bragging God is coming for you. He is going to exact upon the nonbelievers that laughed at the calamity of the believers justice; by bringing them down and taking from them that that caused them to have such a negative bragging attitude. God delivered his people then as he is going to do even now; for in Mt Zion (the church) shall be deliverance.
Sunday Morning #1 - 14th June 2026 - Bro. Darren Finlay
Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,3 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,4 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,5 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in the watches.10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,11 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;14 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;17 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai:18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;19 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,35 And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.37 And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.38 And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.45 And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
In this series, we'll dive into the shortest books of the Bible (2 John, 3 John, Obadiah, Philemon, Jude) to uncover the big truths they contain. Sometimes, a few carefully chosen words can change hearts, redirect lives, and shift the course of entire communities. In Straight to the Point, we'll see how God used brief, powerful messages to confront pride, call people back to what truly matters, restore broken relationships, and keep His mission moving forward. This series reminds us that even the simplest message, when delivered by God, has the power to transform lives.
The sermon, drawn from the brief yet powerful prophecy of Obadiah, centers on the divine assurance that God sovereignly judges the proud and exalted, particularly through the coming judgment on Edom, a symbol of human pride and hostility toward God's people. Through a close examination of the text, the preacher emphasizes that God's authority is revealed not in human strength or status, but in His faithful word, which accomplishes what He intends, even when repeated across prophets. The message is a call to exiles—then and now—to cling not to worldly security, but to God's promised justice, which is grounded in His sovereignty and equity. The sermon underscores that pride, whether in Edom's rock-fortresses or in modern self-reliance, is ultimately deceived, and God will bring down the exalted to exalt His own glory. Ultimately, believers are invited to find comfort not in their own strength, but in Christ, who humbled Himself to defeat sin, death, and Satan, and who will one day bring every enemy to submission, calling all to worship Him in humility and faith.

These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.2 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.4 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.5 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males.6 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.7 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.8 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males.9 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.11 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males.12 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.14 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.16 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.17 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.18 And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;20 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.24 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,25 And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:26 I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;27 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers.29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the Lord.30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.33 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.35 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the Lord.36 And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
In this message from the book of Obadiah, Pastor Landon continues our study through the Minor Prophets by exploring one of the shortest books in the Old Testament—and one of the most powerful. Obadiah confronts the pride of Edom, a nation that trusted in its strength, security, wisdom, and alliances rather than in God. Through this prophetic warning, we are reminded that pride deceives the heart, resists God's grace, and ultimately leads to destruction. Yet the message does not end in judgment. It points us to the hope found in surrendering to Jesus Christ. Through the examples of Edom and Christ, we see two very different paths: self-exaltation versus humility, self-rule versus surrender, pride versus grace. While Edom sought to elevate itself, Jesus humbled Himself—even to the point of death on a cross—so that sinners could be redeemed. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are we building our own kingdom, or are we surrendering to God's?

Journey Through Scripture - Ezekiel 25-28, 32, Ps 137 & Obadiah
Text: Genesis 36:1-43 A Persistent Rejection of God's Ways (Gen. 36:1-8) Esau was driven by his own desires (Gen. 25:29-34; Heb. 12:16-17). Esau was driven to disobeying God (Gen. 26:34-35; 28:6-9). A Perilous Pursuit of the World's Values (Gen. 36:9-43) Esau prized wealth and prominence over faith in God. Edom eventually faced God's judgment for their wickedness (Obadiah 1:10; Malachi 1:4-5). LIFE APPLICATION: WHAT WILL BE YOUR LEGACY? A Legacy of Unbelief: Gaining the world and losing your soul (Mark 8:34-37) A Legacy of Faith: Believing in Christ and Treasuring Christ above all things (Phil. 3:7-11) Main Idea: Your greatest legacy is not what you build in this life, but who you are trusting in for eternity.

Message from James Brilliantes on May 24, 2026
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.4 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.6 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and amend the house:11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.12 And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.14 And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the Lord given by Moses.15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.17 And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,21 Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do after all that is written in this book.22 And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.23 And she answered them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the Lord, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the Lord.28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.30 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lord their God. And all his days they departed not from following the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Why is self-awareness so difficult?In this teaching on Psalm 19, John Ortberg explores self-deception, blind spots, hidden faults, and the surprising difficulty of honestly seeing ourselves.The Psalmist asks: “Who can discern their own errors?”That question launches a fascinating exploration of:- Freud and the unconscious mind- Cognitive bias and self-deception- Why humans protect their image- The role of feedback and mirrors- Spiritual growth through honesty- Grace, confession, and healingThis episode explores how Scripture and modern psychology intersect around one central truth: human beings are remarkably good at hiding truth from themselves.And yet real freedom begins when we become willing to see.Scriptures:- Psalm 19:12–14- Romans 1- Obadiah 1:3Resources mentioned:- Freud- George Eliot- Gregg Ten Elshof- Awakenings#psalm19 #JohnOrtberg #SelfAwareness #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #Psychology #Prayer #BibleStudy #BlindSpots #Psalms
Book of the Twelve: Obadiah Trevor Hoffman Obadiah - Sermon by Trevor Hoffman
Obadiah announces Edom's judgment for pride and betrayal, turning brotherly violence into divine recompense while pointing from Zion's deliverance to the LORD's kingdom.
Message from James Brilliantes on May 17, 2026
The book of Obadiah is a small book with only 21 verses, but it has a much larger message. Through the prophet, God tells what will be done to the Edomites, who scoffed at His people and did not value the things of God. This book applies to the time it was written and to a future time when those who refuse to repent and turn to God will be forever cut off from His presence.

Message from James Brilliantes on May 10, 2026
Edom rejoiced over Israel's downfall. That same impulse to rejoice in other people's failure is still in us today.
Every man has a calling. Not every man counts what it costs the people closest to him. Through the forgotten story of Obadiah, we examine the hidden price families pay when a man runs hard after purpose and never looks back.

SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 372, “Never Discount the Impact of Your Talents,” Kim discusses the talents each of us have been given and our accountability to use them all to the glory of the Lord. In today's lesson, Kim uses the focal text, as well as other scriptures, to remind listeners that ALL talents are important and each of our talents should be dedicated to the Lord. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 34:10-13, and with 11-13 as the focal verses: 11 They hired carpenters and builders, who purchased finished stone for the walls and timber for the rafters and beams. They restored what earlier kings of Judah had allowed to fall into ruin. 12 The workers served faithfully under the leadership of Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the Merarite clan, and Zechariah and Meshullam, Levites of the Kohathite clan. Other Levites, all of whom were skilled musicians, 13 were put in charge of the laborers of the various trades. Still others assisted as secretaries, officials, and gatekeepers. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Which talent have you been neglecting or do you need to dedicate to the Lord? Additional Resources and Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 Matthew 25:14-30 23 Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
